angry arabiya

I should add: Terrorism is loud, ugly, messy, and gets wide condemnation; institutional tyranny is often invisible, slick, and "clean".

Institutional tyranny is in a way worse than terrorism: It has more victims, has a longer life, and often gets international legitimacy.

no sleep, no toilet, no water, extreme low temperature, long standing, beating, sexual harassment, stripped naked. You are still my hero!

Horrific torture on my husband @HussainMJawad past 7 days. Now is held 1week pending investigation on charge of funding "sipversive groups"

كل من يستسلم للظالم هو عون له #علي_شريعتي

and thank you to all those who stand up & speak out on behalf of the ppl of #Bahrain u restore our faith in humanity

My love & respect to all the ppl of #Bahrain who continue to sacrifice everyday, so that someday our children can be free

The ppl of #Bahrain will not forget that those who claim to stand for human rights & democracy, r the strongest supporters of our oppressors

As for the foreign governments, who continue to support the Alkhalifa dictatorship, you are partners in all their crimes #Bahrain

Today I repeat his words, we will continue, no matter how long it takes & how many sacrifices we have to make #Bahrain

On the day my father was sentenced to life in prison, he raised his fist & said we will continue on the path of peaceful resistance #Bahrain

everyday I am more convinced that u are as weak as the paper ur picture is printed on, & that is why seeing it torn scares you #Bahrain

Hanging ur pics on every street & in every school will not make u loved by the ppl who have been suffering under ur dictatorship #Bahrain

Making prisoners kiss ur pictures or sing the national anthem under torture does not & will not make u more powerful #Bahrain

To the dictator Hamad I say, ur prisons dont show ur strength, they show ur weakness, they show ur fear of the people #Bahrain

and I would be proud to join them again #Bahrain

The 1000's of political prisoners in #Bahrain are infact the most proud & free among us, they refused to live as silent subjects

to those who feel pity 4 my son I say, pity the children who grow up afraid, who become adults who live in fear and in silence #Bahrain

to those ppl who feel sorry for us I say, we make these sacrifices with smiles on our faces, cuz our goals r worth sacrificing for #Bahrain

Ripping his pic is a 1st step to let him know that we r not afraid, that we are determined to gain our rights, to live as free ppl #Bahrain

Ripping his picture is not enough, Hamad Alkhalifa should be put on trial for all the crimes he has committed against the ppl of #Bahrain

I ripped the pic of Hamad cuz he represents oppression in my country. Hamad is a dictator, a killer, a torturer & a criminal #Bahrain

We are not backing down, not if u arrest my father, torture my husband, sentence my sis or put me & my baby in a prison cell fr yrs #Bahrain

We are calling for freedom & dignity for our people, & nothing the government does will make us back down #Bahrain

This path does not make us victims, its a path of strength thru sacrifice, & we are willing to sacrifice everything for our ideals #Bahrain

Me & my family have been ready for this & expecting it. Its not easy to be ripped apart from those u love but we have chosen a path #bahrain

I am now sentenced to a total of 4 yrs & 4 months, we dont know when they'll come to arrest me, it cud be tonight or in a few days #Bahrain

As I tweet I look over & see my husband holding our tiny baby & staring at him. I know hez thinking how little he'll get to see him #Bahrain

She looked at me for awhile, then looked at her baby brother & said "I want to come to prison with you" #Bahrain

When we got home, as me & my daughter gave baby Hadi a bath, I told her calmly that me & Hadi will be going to prison sometime soon #Bahrain

I wanted my son to see the ocean, to breath the fresh air, & I realized today might be his last chance to do so #Bahrain

I always thot thats the opposite of a prison cell, to c the endlessness of the ocean & the sky, instead of the walls & prison bars #Bahrain

I thought abt the 3 cases I'm to be sentenced in 2day, I changed my 12 day old baby & decided we were going to the beach #Bahrain

as my daughter left the room my husband said "we memorized the national anthem during the torture sessions when we were @ Dry Dock" #Bahrain

On the other side of the leaflet was the national anthem, which starts with "Our #Bahrain, our king" my husband looked at it with a smile

She had tons of questions, the most important being "Why do we have to salute Hamad at school if he is not a nice person?" #Bahrain

Happy to hear @Alaa was released, waiting for news on Yara Sallam, Sanaa Seif, Mahienour and Razan Zeitounah #Egypt #Syria

Thank you again to everyone. I look forward to continuing our human rights work, we have yet a long way to go. #Bahrain

My sister turned to me and said: welcome to #Bahrain, assault, imprisonment and excessive teargas attacks on protesters

2day, few hours after my release while driving to see my family, our car was shot @ w tear gas by riot police attacking protesters #Bahrain

2day on d same day of my release I hear tht d health of pol prisoners on #hungerstrike in solidarity w my father is deteriorating #Bahrain

On this day also, my father is entering his 26th day of #hungerstrike and his life is at risk in #Bahrain

Today, on the same day of my release, 14 political prisoners were sentenced to life in prison in #Bahrain.

If the international community cud secure my release tht gives me hope that we can do the same 4 d thousands of political prisoners #Bahrain

Before leaving prison, I informed them that I will continue my human rights work. #Bahrain

Despite the release, I am banned from traveling and the charges have not been dropped. First hearing will b on October 1st #Bahrain
